Here are a few more details. I agreed to buy a SUREFIRE 6P for $55 from HK PREDATOR in December 2002. I sent a money order & he confirmed receipt thereof. After 6 weeks of waiting, I asked whazup? He said it was sent insured and not to worry. This was followed by 5 + months of promising to refund the cash. I am still waiting.

Damn man your just now telling us! Don't wait so long next time. Track his ass down and make his life suck, then you will get your money.
Make sure everyone around him knows that he ripped you off. If you are wrong then he is going to cream you in court, but if you are right then he has nothing to defend but bad actions on his part, its up to you.

That slimy asshole got you like that! Hell for the $ side its not to critical but its the principal of the thing. I would email and IM him every hour on the hour till he wakes the fuck up and smells the roses. I stand to boycott him from this minute on. Send him to the asshole catageory with all the rest. Thanks for the heads up. A real man faces his mistakes a fuckup faces a beating! Thats the way we deal with it here in the Big Apple.

You are kidding me right? We ship 30 ~ 50 packages a week and have never
had a single item lost or damaged. A customer chooses not to insure it and
we are just supposed to send their money back? I don't think we'd be in
business long. I probably will send him his money just so he goes away.
Since this incident we now charge every customer on every order more money
to pay for insurance and tracking. We can't afford to take chances on
someone saying "I never got it". It pushes the shipping charges higher, but
that's not our problem. It's better than giving merchandise away.
On another note, I'll just ignore the prick statement and having friends in
NH. Since I am a special ops and land warfare instructor I'm not worried
much about it. We do run a tight business here and this is literally the
first problem we have had in three years of business and that is the only
reason I'll send him his money back.

Sorry for the extreme delay. I kept hoping to find the insurance ship that was misplaced. I hope the jackass in customs is enjoying his free flashlight, because undoubtedly that is as far as it got.

12/02 HK PREDATOR HAS 2 SUREFIRE 6P’S FOR SALE
DOMINATOR: I WOULD LIKE TO BUY BOTH LIGHTS.

DOMINATOR: PLEASE SEND SITREP ON LIGHT.
01/23/03 HK PREDATOR: It was sent via USPS on the 15th of January. I filled out the customs declaration just as you instructed. You should have it very soon.
DOMINATOR: ROGER THAT.
01/24/03 HK PREDATOR You received it?
DOMINATOR: NEGATIVE, STILL WAITING. CHEERS, JOHN.
02/04/03 HK PREDATOR: I have the receipt for shipping you the light, the problem is I've looked everywhere for the Customs declaration and confirmation receipt and I can't find them anywhere. I never throw stuff like that out. I am hoping your light shows up very soon as I have no way to track this unless USPS can somehow track the transaction by the receipt number. I'll look into that avenue.

STILL WAITING FOR MY TAC-LIGHT. SEND SITREP.
JOHN.
DOMINATOR: PLEASE SEND SITREP ON LIGHT.
03/11/03 HK PREDATOR: I had no luck with the Post Office tracking by receipt number. I'll have to get a check out to you. Thanks for your patience.
DOMINATOR: ROGER THAT. CHEERS, JOHN.
05/14/03 HK PREDATOR: Do you have a Papal account?
DOMINATOR: YES, ADDRESS IS XXXXXX.
DOMINATOR: STILL WAITING FOR REFUND. I AM A PATIENT MAN BUT I BELIEVE THAT 5+ MONTHS OF WAITING IS LONG ENOUGH. YOU SAID THAT THE LIGHT WAS SENT INSURED, AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT. IF I DON’T RECEIVE A REPLY IN 10 DAYS, I WILL GIVE YOU NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ON THIS NET. ADDRESS AGAIN IS XXXXXX.
CHEERS,
JOHN.
2 WEEKS LATER, I POSTED NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ON AR15.COM
10/06/03 Received $55 from HK PREDATOR via Paypal.
There are a couple of IM’s missing from the above exchange but the gist of the story stands out nonetheless. It isn’t about the light (I have several of various models ((as any self-respecting operator does))) nor the money (if HK PREDATOR needed my $55 I, could have let that go as I am a charitable guy) it is simply a matter of honor. He said the money would be returned, and then made me wait. I would have dealt with this matter a little sooner had I not been required to play in the large ‘sandbox’ for a while. The bottom line is that HK PREDATOR dug down deep and found he had what it took to do the right thing. Thanks for those who intervened on by behalf.
DOMINATOR OUT.
